In order to be considered for the President's 'E' Award, the company must have at least four years of successive export expansion that is 'measurable, innovative, sustainable, and has broad impact.' For Owl this also coincides with progressive international marketing presence and sales revenue.
The E award was created by President Kennedy in 1961 with Executive Order 10978 as a symbol of excellence to honor and provide recognition to America's exporters. Winners of the award are given the privilege of flying the award's blue and white banner and displaying the certificate of commendation, signed by the Secretary of Commerce, in the name and by the authority of the President.
'International expansion has and will continue to be a critical element in the organization's strategic growth plans. In recent years, Owl has invested in a local presence across Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and we look forward to continuing to build our international team. In addition, a significant portion of our international success can be attributed to the global partnerships we've formed with some of the world's most prestigious distributors,' said Dennis Lanahan, Director of Sales at Owl.
In 2018, U.S. exports were the highest on record with U.S. services at $821.1 billion and U.S. exports of goods reaching $1.7 trillion, demonstrating how American private enterprise can not only survive, but thrive, in the international market.
